ENGLISH: In Swedish there’s a saying: what is hidden in snow, will be revealed in thaw. It basically means, don’t ever try to hide anything, cause it will all be exposed eventually… And that is becoming pretty obvious on the streets of New York. It’s like a layer of make-up is slowly being washed off the city’s face. Although it’s mostly piles of garbage, the blemishes can take on any form. Yesterday in East Village it bloomed. In Astoria, Queens, the case was worse.
